Day 4: The Holy Elephant Gate - Shigatse , The Holy Elephant Gate is quite far from Shigatse, so I was basically on the road this day.
We passed many lakes on the way and entered the so-called step-by-step phase. We didn’t know what was happening next to the lake. When we were leaving, we saw a group of people taking pictures of the lake with professional cameras.
After walking a few steps, I ran into another obstacle, but I was holding my urine at the moment and really wasn't in the mood to look at the lake.
Devil Lake looks like Lincuo, but the scenic spot is so far away from the lake that you can only take pictures of a blue ribbon.
Encountering a beautiful snow-capped mountain, people in the group naturally started taking photos. It felt boring to always take cool side photos, so I suggested to a girl in the same group to stand on a pillar and pose like a roc spreading its wings. This suggestion was solemnly rejected by the girl.
The billboards on the road are also big prayer wheels.
The route passed the edge of the no-man’s land of Qiangtang and we saw Tibetan antelopes. Super alert, he immediately ran away when he saw me going downhill from the road.
There is a black-necked crane sanctuary nearby, and several black-necked cranes were seen in the water areas on both sides. There were also cats seen near the nearby village, blue and gray in color, I don’t know if they were domestic cats or wild cats.
After entering Shigatse, the driver immediately took the driver to the oxygen shop. After the driver’s words completely demonized Mount Everest, most people in the group bought oxygen. The sign at the oxygen store looks scary.
The aunt who didn’t buy oxygen used one word to describe the driver: alarmist. The following experience made me feel that what my aunt said was very appropriate. I stayed in Shigatse that night, the second largest city in Tibet, so my stay was pretty good.
